About Soquelitinib Soquelitinib
(formerly CPI-818) is an investigational small molecule drug given
orally designed to selectively inhibit ITK (interleukin-2-inducible
T cell kinase), an enzyme that is expressed predominantly in T
cells and plays a role in T cell and natural killer (NK) cell
immune function. Soquelitinib has been shown to affect T cell
differentiation and induce the generation of Th1 helper cells while
blocking the development of both Th2 and Th17 cells and production
of their secreted cytokines. Th1 T cells are required for immunity
to tumors, viral infections and other infectious diseases. Th2 and
Th17 helper T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of many
autoimmune and allergic diseases. The Company believes the
inhibition of specific molecular targets in T cells may be of
therapeutic benefit for patients with cancers, including solid
tumors, and in patients with autoimmune and allergic diseases.
Recent studies have demonstrated that ITK controls a switch between
the differentiation of Th17 proinflammatory cells and T regulatory
suppressor cells. Inhibition of ITK leads to a shift toward T
regulatory cell differentiation which has the potential to suppress
autoimmune and inflammatory reactions. Based on interim results
from a Phase 1/1b clinical trial in patients with refractory T cell
lymphomas, which demonstrated tumor responses in very advanced,
refractory, difficult to treat T cell malignancies, the Company has
initiated a registrational Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT06561048) of
soquelitinib in patients with relapsed peripheral T cell lymphoma.
Soquelitinib is also now being investigated in a randomized
placebo-controlled phase 1 clinical trial in patients with atopic
dermatitis. A recent publication describing the chemistry,
enzymology and biology of soquelitinib appeared in npj Drug
Discovery in December 2024 and is available online at the Nature
website and on the Publications and Presentations page of the
Corvus website.
